No poker vibrator? How did you get rid of air voids?

@yahoochiewatchie We manually poke the concrete; not in the video.

@yahoochiewatchie unless its a big footing/pad you dont need to vibrate..just tap the forms with a hammer and its its all good..in this vid the concrete looks wet enough that it will flow around the rebar and thats all that matters..walls are different..footings dont need to be pretty

The dougout is for a crawl space. Everything is to CT building codes.

Im confused... Isnt it too deep from surface for a footing? Is the dugout for crawl space

@Ezzequiel2517 The dugout is for a crawl space and everything is to CT building codes.

Is that actually a neighbor worried about his grass off to the left?

[ValarMorgoth]

There is a thing called "concrete vibrator" ....

Makes much better concrete .....

@ValarMorgoth The right "Mix Design" makes for better concrete.

@cedartree696 likely a high strength concrete
